Research direction

Start by locating the existing ActivityIndicator component and any related tests or exports in react-native-paper, then review the project's component and theme conventions. Clarify the Spinner API and the intended variants before implementation; done means the component is renamed, multiple variants are supported, and affected usage and tests are updated.
